ATLANTA — So now the warmup is over and the Mets can concentrate on a serious stretch in the schedule.
But they’re not entering the upcoming test on a high note.
In the final tune-up before 14 games in 14 days that include seven meetings with the Nationals, four with the Cubs and three with the Marlins leading to the All-Star break, the Mets saw their offense struggle much of the game as the Braves beat them for the fifth time in seven games with a 5-2 victory Sunday at Turner Field before a crowd of 20,484.
